Top comic book runs (#5-#1)





5. Usagi Yojimbo – Stan Sakai

Like Jeff Smith, Wendy & Richard Pini, and Dave Sim, Stan Sakai made comics his way, telling stories about feudal Japan through the eyes of a ronin rabbit.

During my golden years of reading comics, this was THE one. I had just missed the Claremont/Byrne years of Uncanny X-Men, but I made sure I got to the drug store every month to pick up the new issue of Alpha Flight. They were an unusual team, echoing the Defenders, in that they didn’t seem to like hanging out with each other…at all. But the… Continue

Bill, just saw your post. The list I put up "usually" does not include special orders for subs. Pluto is on the list but not Masterpiece HC. I e-mailed you about masterpiece and cursed pirate girl but I will call Diamond to see if they know anything.

Well, I bought Zot today, Doc! Looking greatly forward to reading it and letting you know what I think. I suspect this will go over better than Runaways did.

Thanks for the welcome! I'm a huge Doctor Who fan as well (and Torchwood...).

Well...I'm a doctor...but, alas, no Tardis. I do have a daughter named Rose, though. Luckily, we named her that before the new show started.
